One Army, Two Components
The Army has the primary purpose of defending the nation and
when called upon, to fight and win in war. The Army Reserve is
the part-time component to the Canadian Army and it has three
roles
- Existing Reserve units are the framework or structure the
Army would use to mobilize or expand the Army should the
nation ever
need to respond to a large crisis as in the World Wars.
- Located in hundreds of communities across Canada, Canadians
connect with their Army through the Army Reserve.
- The Army Reserve augments the professional Army by providing
soldiers, units or specialists to the Canadian Forces.
The Regular and Reserve components of the Army share a mission
, a vision and a unique mandate.
